SAPP Sekong CLC
chief, Datuk Tain Fook En said the plan to construct the plant in
Sekong should be cancelled now that Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa
Aman had announced a 300MW gas-fired power plant in Kimanis.

"Power supply
generated by the gas-fired plant can be transmitted from Kimanis to
Sandakan via the 375kv East-West Grid. The Sandakan people await the
news of the fate of the coal-fired power plant," he said here

Tain also called on

problem.

Musa had stated that
the gas-fired power plant was planned in Kimanis to be undertaken
jointly by Yayasan Sabah and Petronas to utilise the oil and gas
resources from oil field in Sabah waters.

Coal's Assault on Human Health
Coal pollutants affect all major body organ systems and contribute to four
of the five leading causes of mortality in the U.S.: heart disease,
cancer, stroke, and chronic lower respiratory diseases. This conclusion
emerges from our reassessment of the widely recognized health threats from
coal. Each step of the coal lifecycle-mining, transportation, washing,
combustion, and disposing of post combustion wastes-impacts human health.
Coal combustion in particular contributes to diseases affecting large
portions of the U.S. population, including asthma, lung cancer, heart
disease, and stroke, compounding the major public health challenges of our
time. It interferes with lung development, increases the risk of heart
attacks, and compromises intellectual capacity.

Oxidative stress and inflammation are indicated as possible mechanisms in
the exacerbation and development of many of the diseases under review. In
